Orange Crush and movies


I haven’t been getting a lot done but I was able to accomplish a couple orange crush blocks. I like how they are turning out. I work in the Agricultural field and this is one of my two busiest times of the year. I have been putting in long hours on top of running to track meets and baseball games. It can all get a little overwhelming at times.
We have been getting a lot of rain lately. It has just been chilly and dreary out. I have yet to get my summer annuals planted and my husband purchased 7 nice sized trees the other day and we haven’t been able to get them in the ground yet. I am looking forward to some warmer weather that’s for sure.
I am still plugging along on watching all the seasons of Northern Exposure. It has been slow going as of late. Last night I had a few hours at home so I spent my evening with Frank Sinatra and Debbie Reynolds in the movie The Tender Trap. I love old movies and had not seen this one in awhile. I also was able to catch Doris Day and Rock Hudson in Love Come Back which seems to be on every other week. Doris Day has always been one of my favorites.

Orange Crush Clue # 3 Done


I have Clue #3 of Orange Crush all done. It was an easy and quick one to do. Yesterday I was able to tear myself away from work long enough to take an all day quilting class that our guild was offering. Let me just say that it was so bad of a class that it was actually fun. We received almost zero instruction, no hand out and no actual project. I can only remember twice in this 6 hour class that the instructor actually got up from sitting and actually walked around or looked at what someone was trying to do. When asked about one of the quilt samples and measurements for it so we could start one like it we were told that it was made over 3 years ago and they couldn’t remember what the measurements were. We spent our time in the back of the room taking pictures of said instructor with the clock behind him and giggling. At 2:30 he actually closed his eyes for awhile and took a power nap. At this time one of my friends said “the Enthusiasm for this class is contagious”. All in all we actually had a fun day.
Tonight I am celebrating my May 5th birthday with my “quilt friends” and husbands. One of my dearest quilt friends and I share a birthday so we get to choose where dinner will be. We picked one of our local establishments called Bruno’s. I can’t wait as it is always so much fun to spend time with all of them.
